It was spring in 2001 and in the middle of Europe. Where I can't remember, probably Hamburg, Naples or Manchester or somewhere like that. Liam and Joe met Claudia and Connie and the four of them decided to make a record as quickly as they could. All the best records they liked were made quickly. They wanted it to be a punk electro reggae country mess, the sound of people with butterfly minds, getting bored quickly, getting excited quickly and all with a terrible urgency.
